Nobody's Keeper

Short fence of a mansion

Blue glow in the night

Vapor on our skin

Things of dreams that are made

I, I should've stayed

Start us, scare us, stir us up

A sound from off in the night

No thought to count our heads

We scurry away

Leave her to her fate

I, I should've stayed

I, I should've stayed

And it haunt me

Everywhere

That I go

But I'd rather

Keep my bargain

With the devil I know

Than one I don't

There, Take his confession

For what it's worth

Go, grind it into dust

Make an elixir

He can withstand

Yeah, I've paid my dues, with little to show

Sure, you'll fix him up, before twilight glows

Forgive my offense

But his perimeter's dense

For what's in store

You'll need more than a few soldiers on this shore

Beware his defense

Stacked his means to his ends

Reap what you sow

God help you find something he don't know

Hey feed him the line

Say you should forgive yourself

Pull wool to his eyes

Don't build yourself a prison cell

Here, the keys to his mind

You were too young a man to tell

Were nobody's keeper

No thought to count our heads

Leave her in the past where she lay

There's no more she can say

Can you summon her breath

Then why go combing the depths

For what is lost

Hey feed him the line

Say you should forgive yourself

Pull wool to his eyes

Don't build yourself a prison cell

Here, the keys to his mind

You were too young a man to tell

Were nobody's keeper

Nobody's keeper

Nobody's keeper

Were nobody's keeper
